Wow – was going to reply with “great post” but that would be WRONG!

However as this comment is in the nineties you might not read it, so maybe I would get away with it.

I don’t come here often enough but when I do I think – great writing AND the best name ever for a blog

ok – a question for you – would you recommend blogher 10 to a relative nobody blogger like me? Will be over in US next summer and should be able to fit it in …should I embrace the opportunity or run for the hills?

Yeah, you read my mind. I feel all of these frustrations – and on Twitter, I’m pretty much the sound of one hand clapping …

Now I post about once or twice a week, and read some of my favorite blogs when I can. It’s hard to let myself off the hook when I feel guilty about not visiting everyone who reads me, but right now I’m doing all I can. I don’t get the # of comments I used to, but I do feel like I’m living my life a little more (off of the computer, where much of it has been taking place these last two years).

Maybe there’s an ebb and flow to it, as with all things…

i really blame twitter for this feeling of invisibility. i was actually writing a post about being invisible, set for tomorrow. i think you're awesome. you're where i hope to be someday. i just wrote a post today about shutting down my blog. for other reasons but...yeah. well, i'd miss you. here and on twitter. .-= melissa´s last blog ..The One Where I Admit A Little Bitty Fear =-.

Even as a fairly new blogger with next to no subscribers and no advertisers, I've felt weary and disillusioned lately too. I feel like 90% of the people who leave me comments just do it for a visit back. I'm trying to focus on the writing--for the 10% who care--but just haven't had a post I felt great about in, well, too long. Anyway, I recently discovered your blog and really love it and am glad you're sticking around. The blogosphere is better for it! .-= Deb´s last blog ..Those rules are a nuisance =-.

I sooooo get this!

I have been steadily losing interest for quite a while now – I just can’t be bothered to do the endless self-promotion that seems to be requisite.

I also believe pretty strongly that blogging, in particular, parenting blogging, has jumped the shark in terms of novelty, interest and influence. It’s a trend on its way down methinks…
